1. (Confidential - MMP) LIAISON Accompanied Scott
Breckinridge, Special Coordinator for the House Select
Committee on Assassinations, OLC, and Rodger Gabrielson,
OLC, to brief Thomas K. Latimer, Staff Director, House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, on the state of
play as between the House Select Committee on Assassinations
and the Agency. Mr. Latimer immediately understood that the
crux of the proBlem lay in the House Select Committee on
Assassinations possible exposure of sensitive information
(Nosenko and/or Mexico operations) in open fora. He said
that he would brief Chairman Edward P. Boland (D., Mass.),.
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and that
the latter might discuss the matter with Chairman Louis
Stokes (D., Ohio), House Select Committee on Assassinations.
He suggested that the best approach would be for the DCI to

- raise the issues we were concerned about with Chairman Stokes

and, then, if necessary with the President. The latter in

turn could register his concerns with Speaker of the House Thomas P.
O'Neill. Mr. Latimer said that the House Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence charter precluded the House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence from playing a significant role in

this matter.
